8. Hana - Fear Effect

The cel-shading art style of Fear Effect has actually allowed the underrated PS1 survival horror game to age quite well considering how god-awful some of its contemporaries looked at the time.

Unfortunately though, the same can't be said for the horror game's character models, who's robotic animations were never quite able to convey the fear the title was attempting to evoke.

But that didn't stop the developers from trying to turn the only female playable character, Hana, into a PS1 pin-up model. The alternate costumes you could unlock for her only cemented this even more, as they were, lets say, not the most appropriate attire for fighting off the monsters hiding in the game's shadows.
